Summary

Respiratory muscle training (RMT) is considered a therapeutic strategy to improve respiratory muscle strength in mechanically ventilated (MV) patients and facilitates ventilator weaning. RMT aims at improving strength and endurance of respiratory muscles . However, scarce research exists regarding evaluation of RMT in MV patients and additionally studies differ in methods, RMT protocols and subjects included. There are not reports about Colombian studies evaluating RMT effects on MV patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of respiratory muscle training in increasing respiratory muscle strength and improving weaning outcomes in MV patients who required ventilatory support for more than 48 hours at an Intensive Care Unit of an IV level Hospital in Cali during the period 2014-2015

Conditions

  • Respiratory Muscle Weakness

Interventions

OTHER

Respiratory muscle training

Respiratory muscle training is done twice every day, with 3 series of 10 repetitions each, with a resting pause of two minutes between series (during resting time, patient is connected to mechanical ventilation again). We adjust initial load for respiratory muscle training as 50% of MIP. At the end of every training session, we assess dyspnea (perceived effort) using Modified Borg Scale (23). Four physical therapists are in charge of Respiratory muscle training, these therapists work at ICU and have experience with critically ill patients.

OTHER

Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy

Control group receives Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy every 6 hours, physical therapy and mechanical ventilation management
